Newly formed organisation Refugee Nation commissioned a flag for the Refugee Olympic Team. The flag itself was imagined by Yara Said, an artist and Syrian refugee now living in Amsterdam.

Its colours represent the life jackets worn by asylum seekers on their dangerous and desperate crossing and the many lives lost on the journey. The organization hopes that this will be a symbol of solidarity and good will after the event ends and the immigration crisis continues.
